The Wild Ones - Viberg/Iron Heart Engineer Boot

[mclaincausey]

How about viberg on one and IH the other?

IMO just the heel seat. This will keep an overall clean look; however, up top on the opposing side of the upper buckle of the shaft were it would still be visible with pants tucked into the shaft I think would be another possibility though I know this was not one of the options that you put forth but was just a thought

heel seat for the win baby!

I have a rather pimped version of this boot on the sewing bench atm.  As soon as I have it I'll post pics.  Just waiting for Ed to ship the buckles to Viberg.

BTW, my preference is just for the heel seat….

I like those, but there's absolutely no way (short of a lotto win) that I could justify buying a 4th pair of Vibergs this year!

Better buy some Lotto tickets

@Giles:

Leather or 705 half sole (undecided as yet)

Rubber soles are harder wearing than leather, which would be an argument in their favour.

[Finn666]

would these come with the "standard" shaft shape that all the viberg engineers come with or since these are mto, would one be able to spec a different kinda shaft shape (as you did with your last pair.) ?

[tatmantall]

more of a "snaketube" (narrow) shaft would be nice but not sure if Viberg does this option

Also what type of heel? standard or cuban

[superfuzz]

Viberg can do a narrow shaft. I would definitely be into that.

G, what is the price on these?

@Giles:

Proper buckles

Does this mean rollers instead of butterflies?  I am guessing so, I know that's not the normal Viberg Way…

[tatmantall]

I assumed that's what he meant… Sure hope so

@Giles:

Just waiting for Ed to ship the buckles to Viberg.

This supports that hope…

[joesaintjohn]

Uh oh…this might kill my bank account. Still really sad I didn't get the brown with green stitching.

[mclaincausey]

This logo embossed on the vamp strap to me would be killer branding.

Just placed an order for a 9" 2005 in brown Oil Tan. (vibram 705 halfsole and double leather midsole). I think it will be a beautiful build

[Jepanic]

I'd fancy the brown and 705 half sole. Plenty of snow days ahead.
